They have a range of service for face(facial), beauty(nail, waxing) and body(massage, detox, spa) care. The website is full of information and descriptions are kind of attractive. Making me feel like going there right away! Especially when you had a tiring and hectic day at work, you just feel like going somewhere to relax your mind and body and to be stress-free.

Just by seeing these pictures made me feel like I am going to visit Japan! Purpose of writing this post is I hope to be entitled to a complimentary spa or massage with Ikeda Spa! It just feels wonderful and happy to think that I can look forward to a fabulous relaxation session during the weekend.

This piece of mask is really huge. It contains 30g of essence and of course the packaging is much bigger than the usual mask package. Made in Korea.

The texture of the mask is sticky and flimsy but clear, just like how some of the collagen eye masks look like. There was two sections – one for the upper part of the face and the other the lower part of it.When I was trying to put on the mask, I have much difficulty to do so. As my fingernails are quite long, I guessed it did pose a ‘danger’ to the mask. My mask was abit torn or should i say there is a small gap. There is good and bad though. The mask fits me well because of the texture, it actually can stick to your face easily with minimum crease and also when the part whereby the mask is too long for my nose area, I used my nails to tear a small part of it so that I can breathe normally while I enjoy my “masking” session.

There is no deep scent on the mask. Everything was light. However, I felt dizzy after about 15mins of using?? I cannot blame it entirely on the mask. Maybe I should give it a try again and see if I have this reaction.

After an hour my face still feels sticky without applying anything now. I am going to just apply my moisturizer and eye cream and see if I see any difference tomorrow morning.

Sorry this is quite an outdated post. My visit to Prive Clinic was on 25Aug12.I won a Privé Phototherapy Session worth SGD$90 from Cosmopolitan Singapore. After a call to the clinic, I was given a basic description of my treatment. It is to even out my skintone with the assistance of a “special” light. When I was there, I was given a form to fill up with a choice of tea or coffee. I chose tea and it was really refreshing.

I was brought to a room for an analysis before the real treatment begins.
They used a machine to take pictures of my frontal, left and right view. The purpose is to point out the areas and how “good” my skin is with points like wrinkles, UV damage, pigmentation. After analysis, I was told that my skin is generally okay but pigmentation is starting to get worse so must remember to apply sunscreen everyday! (self note).

I was guided into a treatment room and asked to change into their tube wrap. The steps of the treatment was told clearly and I was told that the light is very bright so a pair of goggles was provided too.A nice treatment room to be in and there is a small cupboard for putting our clothes and belongings. The long mirror helps alot too!

A picture of myself before the treatment. I know I looked naked here -.- but I’m wearing the tube wrap okay!I was given a choice to do a mask after the treatment at $15 but due to I have an appointment afterwards, I did not do it. Fortunately, after the treatment my face looks perfectly fine. No redness, no itchness and I feel okay. =)

Personally I do not feel any much difference physically. Maybe the light did help but it will certainly be better if it is on a mid-long term basis. I was offered a package of 6sessions but I politely rejected as I still have many facial sessions with my personal skin centre.

There was not any hard selling at all! I am surprised because I went there for a complimentary treatment and the staffs were all very friendly. I am really impressed with their kind service and make-myself-at-home attitude.

People who are interested, you may make an appointment by calling or email:

I get to know of this story of this young girl age 11, born with a rare illness – Peter’s Anomaly. She cannot see since she is born and can only differentiate colors and light. She went through 4 operations and unfortunately all failed. Now, she can go for another operation for her chance to see again but the treatment needs $80k. The amount is humongous. She decided to make her own CD and sell it to raise the operations’ costs. She is very young but talented in music. I hope this post can get to reach as many people as possible in Singapore or other countries. They are selling one CD at $20 SGD and inside there are four pieces of piano songs done by Adelyn.

Based on their latest post, the CD can be purchased at the following place from Saturday 15 Sept and will stop selling once the fund is adequate for Adelyn’s treatment:Made in CandyUnited Square, #B1-06Name of CD – “Little Dreams”

There are increasing number of cyclists on the road and it is saddening to say that there is an increasing number of deaths each year too. However, Singapore is not that bicycle-friendly still despite that.

In order for Singaporeans or residents to save some dollars $$$, they decided to take this option as a form of transport. Some wear helmet, some put flash lights as warnings to other vehicles. This man put “LTA Approved” as his “bicycle” plate. =D

My sister just told me yesterday that the product I have been using for years consists of this harmful ingredient – Methylparaben. I refer to the ingredient list and I realise it did consist of Methylparaben. When reacted with UVB rays, skin will age prematurely. I am shocked because this product is so popular in Japan and in Singapore. I cannot believe I did blindly used this product without checking out the ingredient list. Sighs.

I have read many articles on how parabens are used as a form of preservative in skincare and cosmetics and it is impossible for myself to buy any items without paraben-free. I cannot believe how careless am I. I just read and it might lead to the cause of breast cancer. Although no concrete evidence is stated, I think it is always to be safe than sorry.

We ladies, should refrain from using parabens related ingredients. Therefore, before any purchase, do check out the full list of ingredients before buying. Even existing products should be thoroughly checked!
